💔 We Almost Lost Each Other, but God Stepped in. 🙏
Ministry was growing, but behind the scenes, Jim and Cheryl were losing their connection, their communication, and the spiritual foundation of their marriage.
This is an honest conversation about what happens when a calling becomes all-consuming, why rest and Sabbath matter, and how God can begin restoring what feels broken. 🕊️❤️
Your marriage does not have to remain where it is today. There is hope, and nothing is impossible with God. ✨
